Pavane de la Belle au bois dormant: Lent (Pavane of Sleeping Beauty) by Maurice Ravel
Pavane de la Belle au bois dormant: Lent (Pavane of Sleeping Beauty) by Maurice Ravel
From Ma mère l’Oye (Mother Goose)
Originally for one piano four hands, the piece was transcribed for solo piano by Ravel’s friend Jacques Charlot the same year as it was published (1910).
Five years later, Ravel dedicated the first movement of Le tombeau de Couperin to Charlot’s memory after his death in World War I.

Maurice Ravel is one of my favorite composers. He composed this simple piano piece at the request of Gabriel Fauré for a sight-reading test at the Paris Conservatoire Ravel dedicated the composition to Jeanne Leleu, the winner of the competition
Opinion Manifesto
Another manifesto – a public declaration of aims.
My one-word theme for 2019 has been “Accept”, so a manifesto on opinions feels good.
Opinion Manifesto
1. Love people first, then philosophy
2. It’s not good because I like it. It’s not evil because I don’t like it.
3. Ideas, suggestions, and thoughts – not truths.
4. Own thoughts in my active voice.
5. Personal speaks to the universal
6. I shouldn’t should. (You might want… or they may choose…)
7. Ideas may change others, only if they choose to change.
8. Strong judgments create a mirror on the judger.
9. Inquire gently

“The more notes we’re getting, the better. That’s a sign that people are invested and that they want to go forward.” Happier in Hollywood 125
“The more notes we’re getting, the better.
“That’s a sign that people are invested and that they want to go forward.”
“If we’re treating the notes as part of the process of making things better, it’s much easier to handle things in a positive way.”
“This is a team effort. People at the studio, the network, they are part of the team. It’s not an Us and a Them. It’s just US. We all want the same thing.”
“Many experienced and inexperienced writers, they have the sense that this is my vision and that they are attacking my vision. That’s a very common way to think. That is not at all where how we think about things.”
“If we don’t think it’ll get on the air, we push back. If we don’t think that, we will accommodate the note as best as we can.”
“The other thing is relationships. We have a lot of new relationships.
“See this not as a project, but the relationships. Ultimately a project will end – whether it’s 10 years or 10 days. All you’re left with is relationships.”
“Most fundamentally, the past is done. Gone. Over. If you had some major disaster in July, the time to deal with it and learn from was in July.” Laura Vanderkam
“Most fundamentally, the past is done. Gone. Over.
“If you had some major disaster in July, the time to deal with it and learn from was in July.
“If you have a major success in May, that’s the point to analyze what worked.
“Not in November or December many months later.
“We can’t change the past once it’s over. The future is not so constrained, it’s wide open.”

“You have thoughts about me. There are things you like about me. There are things you disagree without about me. You have ideas about who I am and what I stand for. Those are concepts you define. You are having a relationship with me as a concept.” Brook Castillo
“Pure circumstances are circumstances without language.
“Most of us think our ideas about things are the things themselves.
“We mistake our stories for the things.
“We mistake our interpretation for the thing. We start having relationships with our stories instead of the things.”
“You have thoughts about me. There are things you like about me. There are things you disagree without about me. You have ideas about who I am and what I stand for. Those are concepts you define. You are having a relationship with me as a concept.
“Think about my name. The language of my name. There’s me and there’s my name. They’re different things. There’s me and there’s the description of me. The circumstance is your experience of me: The experience of my voice without language. If we were in the same room, the physical experience of me.”
“The goal isn’t to have direct experience without language.”
“Not to stay there and live there. Just know that circumstance gives you a place to rest in between your models.”
“Passing through neutral.”
“Sometimes you can’t go from a negative thought to a positive thought.
“Sometimes it’s easier to go from: I hate my body to I have a body to I love my body.”

“This is the essence of a huge vast study: Happiness is love. The key to finding love is having a coping style that doesn’t push love away. Every single one of us needs help with that. We all push love away. The grand task of life is to know how we push love away and to mature beyond that.”

“People do things and an obliger is shocked and appalled by something someone else does. And everyone else thinks it’s fine.” Gretchen Rubin
“People do things and an obliger is shocked and appalled by something someone else does. And everyone else thinks it’s fine.”
“An obliger is like: If you can’t be a citizen of humanity and wash out your own dish, you’re a thoughtless and soulless barbarian.”
“Questioners are like: It’s not efficient.”
“An upholder is like: It’s not my job.”
“A rebel is like: I don’t feel like it.”
“An obliger thinks really it’s powerfully wrong.”
